Mr.. Justice Bradley.

Justice Bradley is still upon the bench,
and is the oldest member of the United
States supreme court, having been born
at Berne, near Albany, n. Y, in 1913.
His early education was very limited, but
his thirst for knowledge was Unsuitable,
and tits related of him that when he was
a charcoal burner in the Heidelberg
mountains he used to go Albany on a
load of coal, studying Latin op the way.
He was once asked what he intended to
do when he grew to manhood, and replied
that he had.uot made up his mind wheth-
er he would be president of the United
States or chief justice of the supreme
court.
Justice Bradley lives in the house once
owned by Stephen A. Douglas, at the
corner of Second and l ctreets in Wash
ington, which in its day was one of the
most imposing private residences at the
national capital. The great ball room
added by Mr.. Douglas is now used by the
judge as his library, which contains the
the best private collection of law books
in the country, He is a genial, compan-
ionable man, and when he and Mrs.
Bradley give dancing party, his library
is temporarily converted once more into
q ball room. The brilliant lights and
splendid costumes, the hum OF merry
voices, the music and the rhythmic move
uent of the dancers are in strange con-
trast with the long rows of law books,
each in its formal sheepskin cover.

Some Bashful Bridegrooms.

Justice of the Peace in Saratoga
county recently joined pair who were so
embarrassed that they hardly knew what
they were doing. The man wore white
straw hat which he whirled on his finger
before the ceremony began. When told
to stand he jumped before the Justice
with tSe greatest aleorIty. For a few
moments he did not know what to do
with the hat, but finally found his way
oct of the difficulty by putting it between
his knees. This was too much for the
bride. With the handle of her parasoI
she caught the hat, pulled 1t from its
position and then, abashed at her audaci-
ty, dropped hat and parasol to the floor.
The same justice tells story of anoth-
er couple who came to be married. The
man was dreadfuIly puzzled, and without
realizing the &C. pulled cigar from his
pocket and began twirling it around.
When that portion of the ceremony was
reached where the bride and groom join
hands, he happened to have the cigar in
his right hand. What to do with the ci-
gar he apparently did not know. The
Justice paused minute and then again
directed the pair to join hands By this
time the poor fellows embarrassment vac

the Justice of the Peace and stick the CT
gar in his mouth. Before the ceremony
could be concluded the Justice had TO

Taking Up Plants for Winter.


Those who have enjoyed profusion of
FLOWERS through the spring, summer and
tearly autumn, will be sure TO have made
tsome provision for the late autumn and
winter. The wisest course is to have been
! preparing, little by little; then, with lit
tie extra thought, plants are all ready to
( be brought indoors, without a suspicion
s of a chill to their sensitive natures. But,
for those who are not thus prepared
lmuch can thus be done to insure few
FLOWERS for the winter and early spring.
Various methods are tried by different
n people, with results as unlike as methods.
lSome people, who fancy themselves very
h fond of plants and otlwers, manage in
this way:

of taking up and potting the largest ger

large pots, but little water and less COM

they will be pat on wheelbarrsw and
trundled into a shed or under sheltering
tree, and there left to the mercy of sun,
wind or rain, perfectly unthought of un-
jtil there is danger of real freezing
night, and then they are hustled into the
house and left in the coolest and dreari-
est corner of long, dreary dining room,
there to remain in solitude and shame
until winter fairly sets in. By this time
they are in such hopeless wretchedness
that they ara carried down cellar to await

APOET'S YOUTH.
Whittier's First Published Poem and the
Friend it Brought Him.

Whittier began to rhyme very early
and kept his gift secret from all ex-
cept his Oldest sister, fearing that his
father, who was a prOsaic man, would
think he was wasting time. He wrote
under the fence, in the attic, in the barn
wherever he could escape observation;
and as pen and ink were not always avail
able, he sometimes used chalk and even
charcoal. Great was the surprise of the
family when some of his verses were IN
earthed, literally unearthed, from under
a heap of rubbish in garnet, but his
father frowned upon these evidences of
the bent of his mind, not out of kind
ness, but because he doubted the suffi-
cheney of the boys education for liter
ary life, and he did not wish to inspire
him with hopes which might never be full
filled.
His sister had faith in him nevertheless,
and, without his knowledge, she sent one
OF his poems to the editor of the Free
Press,a newspaper published at Newbury-
port. Whittier war helping his father
to repair stone wall by the roadside
when the CARVER flung a copy of the paper
to him, and, unconscious that anything of
his was in it, he opened it and glanced up
and down the columns. His eye fell on
some verses called "The Exile's Depart
USE"
Fond scenes which delighted my youthful exls-
tence,
With feelings of sorrow bid you adieu-
lasting adieu: for now, dim IN the distance
The shores of Hibernia recede from my view.
Farewell to the cliffs, tempest beaten and gray,
Which guard the loved shores of my own ma
tive land;
Farewell to the village and sail-shadowed bay.
The forestcroWned hill aud the water-washed
strand.
His eyes swan; it was his own poem,
the first he ever had in print.
"What is the matter with theef" his
father demanded, seeing how dazed he
was; but, though he resumed his work on
the wall, he could not speak, and he had
to steal glance at the paper again to
convince himself that he was not dream
ing. Sure enough, the poem was there
with his initial at the foot of it-"W.,
Haverhill, June l, 1926" and, better still,
this editorial notice: "If w. at Haver-
hill, will continue to favor US with pieces
beautiful as the one inserted in our poet
ical department of to-day, we shall es
TEEN il favor"
The editor thought so much of "The
Exile's Departure" and,other verses which
followed it from the same hand, that he
resolved to make the acquaintance of his
new contributor, and he drove over to see
him. Whittier then boy of eighteen,
was summoned from the fields where he
was working, clad only in shirt, trousers
and straw hat, and having slipped in at
the back door so that he might pu. his
shoes and coat on, came into the room
with shrinking diffidenoe, almost unable
to speak, and blushing like q maiden"
The editor WAS a young man himself, not
over % or %, and the friendship that be-
gan with this visit lasted until death end
ed it. How strong and how close it was,
and how it was made tossrve the cause
of freedom may be learned in the life of
the great abolitionist, William Lloyd
Garrison, which was the editors name.

How Willie Boupbt His Home

' " LIS
As l have received so much good ad-
vice from Farm and Home, thought l
would give little, by telling you the way
we secured little home. The first six
years We were married we lived in a rent
ed mouse, because We thought we must;
we thought We could not afford one of our
own. FINALLY an old lady aunt came to
visit us, advised US to get ourselves
home. She said that of course we would
have to rur in debt for it, but the inter
est would not be as much as the rent we
were paying: We would save many odd
dollars thai we were spending foolishly.
We could hive and dress more plainly
ard economic in many ways that we
would not think of while renting a house
SO Willie and 1 made up our minds to
take her advice, and 1 started out the
mex. morning to make inquiries and
found cozy little cottage that We could
BUY for $500. So We bought it. We had
$3.50 that we had been six years saving.
and gave mortgage on the house for
the rest. So went to work planning
and saving. We have not had our house
a year yet, but we have money enough
In the bank to pay off the mortgage.
would not have believed it was possible
for US to save so much. 1t is so much
easier to save when you have an object
in view.
Now Will tell you the way we man
aged. Every Saturday night Willie gave
me his weeks wages except a little for
spending money. [ bought everything
l needed for the house and saved the rest
To succeed wife must be a wise business
partner. The men who gain wealth in
spite of the wife's help are few indeed
In all my circle of acq uaintances | do not
know one man to make financial failure
but who has an extravaganza wife. wo-
man can make or break her husband,
whichever she wishes.
l imagine that [ hear you saving that
am saving but that my husband has ex-
travagant ideas. Yes, Willie would go to
every theater and circus and party, and
keep hired girl and dress me In the
height of fashion if | would allow it, |
say to him, We can't afford thus and so,
and let's stay at home and save our mon
ey. By go doing I have talked him out
of his extravagant ideas in a great meas
ure. And that mortgage made him save
many dollar he would have spent fool
ishly. Sometimes he makes fun of me
and calls NE "OId Economy"
Some young folks make this mistake:
They will not have house unless they
can have mansion. But l tell you if you
wait till then you will never have any. I
would rather live in cottage of my own
than mansion belonging to someone
else. 1t is an old saying and true one,
that fools build big houses for wise men
to live in.
Now girls, take my advice and buy you
home, not big one where the interest
will be more than rent, but little one
that you can soon pay Tor. Then you
can build on as you can afford to, and the
first thing you know you will have beau

Ear Boxing.
Sanitary Era.

There ought to be a statute in every
state severely Furnishing this practice, or
rather an infiiction of blows on the head,
so common in families and schools of in

medical records reveals fifty one cases of
serious injury to children from boxing
Or cutting on the EARN some cases
chronic and ultimately resulting in fatal
brain disease, deafness, insanity, etc. 1t
would be impossible to discipline all Of
tenders, but much might be dore By
special care in giving notice of the law
and penalty through the newspapers and

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
AN oLD-FASHICNED GIRL
JAMES B. KENYON, " CENTURY.

Old faShioneds Yes. / must confess
The antique pattern OF her dress,
The ancient frills and furbeiows,
The faded ribbons and the bows,
Why she should show those snrunken charms
That wrinkled neck, those tawny arms,
| can not gusss; her russell gown
Round her spare form hangs loosely down,
Her voice is thin and cracked her eye
And smile have lost their witchery.
By those faint lests, that tagging wit,
By each attenuated curl.
She surely il, must admit,
An odd, old-fasnioned girl.
It's long, long since she had beau,
And now with those who sit arrow
Along the wall ste takes her place.
With something of the old time grace
She yearnS TO join the mszy waltz,
And slyIy shifts her smelling salts
Ah, many an angel in disguise
May walk before our human eyes,
Where'eI the feyer-smitten lie
In grimy hauuts Of poverty,
Along the dark and sQuaiid street.
Mid drunken jssts OF 10 T and churl
She goes with swift and plying feet
This same olifashioned girl.
